With a webapp, the "installation" step is usually replaced with a "register" step. So in effect "install" becomes "enter desired username and password", "check for confirmation email", "click confirmation link", "log in".


That's a little 2005ish. Today we have a couple of ways to ease this:

1) With local storage registration isn't necessary in a lot of cases. It is only needed so the user can have the same data on multiple computers.

2) We have Facebook Connect, Google Login, Twitter Anywhere, etc today. It's a 2 step process, "Login", and "Authorize".
